New TMD-project sold to Land-based fish farming.

After delivering three TMDs to the Land-based fish farming industry in 2020, the start of 2021 also looks like it will be a promising year for this industry. Thermtech entered this marked in 2018 and the annual number of projects seems to be increasing. From experience the customer, Fjell Technology Group, describes the TMD as the safe choice for drying of fish-sludge, and states that the TMD has great ability to treat the thick and glue-like sludge and that it is adaptable to variations in both sludge quality and sludge composition.

The end-product of this treatment is an additive for producing fertilizer, or other agricultural products that rely on nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.

This TMD project will be manufactured and assembled in Thermtech’s workshop at Mongstad in Norway.

Delivery is planned for Q2, 2021.

Two technology companies from Bergen win contract with European biotechnology company.

Thermtech AS (TT) and  Fjell Technology Group AS (FTG), two technology companies from Bergen, Norway, have won an important contract with a European biotechnology company. The size of the contract exceeds 4 million Euro and does make an important contribution to both companies’ turnover and financial predictability this year. FTG and TT shall supply an advanced drying system that will handle a demanding raw material stream. The stream will be processed into valuable products in a complicated but environmentally friendly process developed by the European company.

Effluents that before were considered hazardous waste are now turned into profitable ingredients. It has been a very demanding R&D process, involving several test campaigns both in Norway and at the client premises, says COO in FTG Halvard Madsen. We are both proud and glad that FTG & TT have the best technologists, able to develop processes that meet the high standards and demanding criteria of the customer.

The customer has invested large funds and many years in developing the new revolutionary industrial process. The process converts effluents that have no other commercial use into bio-chemicals that can be used as ingredients in various applications. Also, the bi/product of the process can be re-used, and makes an excellent example of circular economy, making the world a little greener.

CTO in FTG, Dr Asbjørn Strand and Thermtech’s Engineering manager Erik Michelsen are very pleased with the order. This order shows that Thermtech and Fjell Technology Group have a world class and unique set of competences and technologies. Both companies are already collaborating in other applications such as drying of fish waste, and this new order which builds upon the shared knowledge is demonstrating that collaboration can be very effective in achieving innovative solutions.

Do you want to know more about how advanced technologies can contribute to your ambition to establish a circular economy by upcycling your waste and by-products, please contact Erik Michelsen, Technical director Thermtech AS.
